Brain Picking

Sat with my co-worker yesterday, he didn't have much time, but he was willing to talk to me.  I like his energy and excitment for me.  He thinks that the Trek 7000 is a good bike but feels that if I am going to be serious about this that I am going to grow tired of it quicky and want to go to the next level.  He suggests waiting and saving and starting at the next level.  I like what he had to say and may be delaying the purchase of a bike for a little while longer.
